The Sand River "(French: rivière Sand)" is a river in the Algoma District of Ontario, Canada which flows from Sand Lake and empties into Lake Superior south of Wawa, Ontario. [ [http://www.onterm.gov.on.ca/geo/details_e.asp?letter=s&ind=301 Ontario GeoNames Index] ]

The Ojibway name for the river is "Pinguisibi". Where "pingui" means "fine white sand" and "sibi" means "river" [ [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
] ] .

The river descends to the lake in a series of low cascades in Lake Superior Provincial Park. The river is named after the sand bar formed across its mouth. A picnic area can be found at the mouth of the river next to Highway #17 where many travelers stop to enjoy a nice view of the cascading falls as the river nears Lake Superior.
